Fixing My 2012 Ford F150 FX4 Fuel Filler Door for Nothing but My Time (with 5.5 Foot Short Box)

4 years ago

My fuel filler door started swinging in the wind the other day and today was the day to tackle it.
After watching a couple videos I went out to hopefully fix mine with as much ease as the others did.
I had some struggles getting to the clips on the filler box on the 5.5 foot box as there is not much room in there.
After finally getting it apart I also had a struggle getting the spring mounted again.
It looks like this is a new design from the 2009 versions that I had been watching.
We got it done and it didn't cost me anything but time so those are the best kinds of repairs.
